Three Injured In Christmas Day Crash

A two-car accident on Christmas Day at the Livingston Circle on Route 10 sent two people to the hospital. 

At approximately 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening, a 2005 Toyota Prius driven by Joanne Shalit, 56, of Morristown collided with a 2011 Audi A4 driven by Jeffrey Barr, 65, of Livingston, said Det. Sgt. Anthony Dippold of the Livingston Police Deparment.

According to the police report, Shalit, who was traveling eastbound on West Mt. Pleasant Ave., ran the red light at the Circle and struck Barr's vehicle, which was heading south on Eisenhower Parkway.

Both Shalit and a male passenger were transported to Morristown Memorial Trauma Center with serious, but non-life threatening injuries, Dippold said. Barr suffered injuries, as well, but declined medical attention at scene. The extent of those injuries was unknown.

The investigation into the accident is still on-going. So far, no summons have been issued, however Dippold noted the possiblity they could be issued in the future.
